What do we do?

WOMBA is a specialist coaching practice, which provides practical and psychological support, for working parents.

Organisations engage WOMBA to provide one-to-one support around the time of maternity, extended paternity, shared parental leave and adoption leave and as working parents continue to progress their careers. For larger organisations, we also run group programmes.

What our clients say about us

“WOMBA’s coaching helped me realise that being a parent was a strength, not a weakness. A small investment in support at this critical moment helps ensure that working parents reach their potential.”

Director of Strategic Planning and Insight, Nationwide Building Society
"Providing expert support to navigate the professional and psychological challenges that arise from becoming a working parent requires sensitivity and skill. The team at WOMBA not only have this expertise, but have worked in genuine partnership with my team to deliver an excellent support programme for our lawyers"

Head of People Development, Government Legal Department
"After returning from maternity leave to a new leadership role and during a pandemic – there was a lot I was hoping to get out of my coaching sessions. WOMBA’s coaching helped me work through the situation around my return, development areas and specific issues as they arose. The impact – I’ve been able to tackle challenges with a new perspective and confidence fuelled by my coach’s ability to get me to leverage and build on my own strengths."
